C Course Plan
Distinguishing Trait:
Communication Inventory
The Monmouth College C Course Plan
is centered around a campus-wide Communication Inventory: a
collaborative catalog describing, in general, how communication is
used and developed in courses across the curriculum.
More specifically,
in the Communication Inventory:
 |
departments, in consultation with the CAC Director, will
construct narratives that describe the incremental use and
development of writing and speaking activities in their majors,
noting points of intersection with Integrated Studies and other
aspects of the curriculum (sample prompts that can be used to
facilitate departmental meetings on communication in your majors
are available here);
|
|
Integrated
Studies Coordinators, in consultation with the CAC Director,
will construct narratives that describe the writing and speaking
activities used in each of the four courses, noting points of
intersection with the other Integrated Studies courses (with the
CAC Director working to insure incremental development over the
four-year sequence); and,
|
|
individual
faculty will be encouraged to construct narratives that describe
the writing and speaking activities used in their courses, again
noting points of intersection with Integrated Studies and other
aspects of the curriculum. |
The Communication
Inventory will be available for all faculty to view, thus:
|
providing
transparency to communication activities;
|
|
providing
opportunities not only to articulate the communication skills
addressed on the campus but also to develop these skills more
strategically; and,
|
|
allowing
faculty to make communication-based connections with other
courses. |
The
Communication Inventory (more specifically the narratives from
departments and Integrated Studies) will be incorporated into the
CAC Narrative, the "big picture" plan for communication on the
Monmouth College campus, allowing us to more intentionally align
communication activities and coordinate CAC resources.
